Clapton Revel

Clapton Revel is a house, likely dating from around 1700 to 1710, with alterations from the 18th century. It was probably built for Groner Steyn, the owner of Clapton Mill. The house is constructed of brick with vitreous headers, with tuck pointing and a gauged brick band on the east front and one bay of the north front. It features coved plaster eaves and a hipped roof covered in old tiles, along with brick chimneys. The building is two storeys high with a lower ground floor and an attic, and has a 3 by 4 bay arrangement of windows. A first-floor band course is also present.

The main south front has three bays of four-pane sash windows with chequered segmental heads and panelled blind boxes. A central ground-floor opening has been altered to French doors. Two hipped dormers are present, each with paired wooden casements. A projecting extension, likely from the 19th century but refurbished in the 20th century, is located on the lower ground floor. This extension is of brick with wooden Ionic half columns, a moulded cornice, a wooden balustrade, and sash windows flanking French doors. The east front has four bays, with the two left bays blind and featuring painted sashes on the first floor. The right bays have three-pane sashes. A panelled door in the third bay has a rectangular fanlight, and a 20th-century wooden porch with a large hood supported by Ionic columns. Two hipped dormers are also present. The north front has three bays of 20th-century three-pane sashes, the upper windows with gauged heads, and two dormers. The west front has been altered and is irregular, including a large 20th-century dormer.

Inside, the south rooms and the first-floor north room retain 18th-century panelling. Corner fireplaces with wooden bolection mouldings are found in the south rooms, and a bedroom on the south side has a closet with reused 17th-century panelling. The central staircase features early 18th-century twisted balusters on the upper flights.
